Seth Meyers didn't buy Donald Trump's latest claim about Iran for a second, tearing into the president's assertion that the country "very nicely" asked the U.S. to stop its military campaign. During Wednesday's "A Closer Look," the Late Nighthost dismissed the claim as "the most that never happened" before launching into a series of biting jokes.
Meyers devoted much of the segment to Trump's claim that Iran had supposedly called to say, "Please stop. Let's meet," arguing the story quickly unraveled as reports emerged of continued military action and even Fox News questioned who the president was actually negotiating with.
The comedian used the contradiction to fuel an extended riff, comparing Trump's account to an elderly grandparent falling for a scam call while repeatedly questioning the credibility of the president's version of events.
"Of all the conversations that never happened, that one is the most that never happened," Meyers quipped about the alleged exchange. "Iran called you up and said, 'Please stop.' Are you talking about a country you're at war with or your neighbor during a house party?"
Mimicking Trump, Meyers continued, "Yeah, Terry called me up and said, 'Please stop blasting Steely Dan.' I said, 'Sorry, no can do. It's only 3:00 a.m. Party's just getting started.' So he called me a pedophile protector and hung up. Communist."
Meyers then played Fox News clips reporting that Iran had launched attacks targeting U.S. forces and that Saudi Arabia and Iraq were now involved in the escalating conflict.
"I thought Iran called you and said, 'Please stop,' not 'Keep the party going and invite all my neighbors,'" Meyers said. "I should have known Trump was lying."
After highlighting the confusion surrounding Trump's claims, Meyers turned his attention to Fox News hosts pressing the president for details about his alleged conversations with Iran.
"I mean, at this point, when Fox News asks, 'Could you tell me who you're talking to?' they might just mean them," Meyers joked. "'Mr. President, do you recognize my voice? It's your friend, Brian. Are you doing okay, Bud?'"
"Even the president's biggest supporters are asking him where he's getting his information," he continued. "This is like when your 80-year-old grandpa tells you he just opened a new account at a bank you've never heard of."
Conjuring Trump's voice again, Meyers added: "'A nice lady called and said if I give her my Social Security number, I could win a free cruise.' 'Grandpa, wait. What nice lady?' 'From the bank.' 'What bank, Grandpa?' 'It's called the Bank of Iran.'"
